Killian's point of viewI couldn't understand why I felt so uneasy. My mind constantly kept going straight back to Sheila.I made sure Mason went with her to ensure there wouldn't be any problems on the way. Mason was one of the best protectors in the pack, and I trusted him with my life. He was a loyal friend and wouldn't hesitate to give his life for me. And I expected that same loyalty towards Sheila.I knew she would do just fine with the meeting at the Diamond pack. Sheila's one hell of a strong woman, and she has good leadership qualities. I was so proud of her.I knew she was safe with both Mason and Brielle, but I couldn't stop the nagging of my wolf, Ryker. It was as though he sensed she was in danger. and wanted me next to her desperately.I couldn't tell if he was serious or just wanted me away from Thea and next to my mate, Sheila.I want the same right now. Fuck. I should have gone with her. Rage and annoyance began pumping through my veins as I realized bitterly that I d
Sheila's point of viewI began running deeper into the mountains, holding my sword in my hand, with more of these fucking wolves after me. It was as if I was their target. I slashed around. I gazed back in hopes of finding Brielle, but I couldn't. She was earlier with me, fighting together, but as more wolves came at us, she insisted I keep running.I was out of breath, but I kept on running. It was better than standing to fight. My gaze wasn't properly focused on the ground as the wolves were almost at me. My shaking legs slipped down a narrow path. Suddenly, I tripped against what felt like hard rock, and before I could do anything, I was rolling and tumbling down the slope of the mountain.My body instantly became sore as I stopped rolling.To my frustration, the wolves that followed me were unrelenting.I pulled up and continued running, coming to an instant halt. There was nowhere else to run to again; it was a dead end. I was on a cliff, and deep down were rocky groves and the s
Killian's point of viewSheila and I followed the path through the woods, making as little noise as possible. We kept covering our tracks, putting distance between the wolves hunting for us. It was almost dawn, and we have been walking for hours in the darkness, moving back to North Central. If the Fire Crest Pack was still after us and planned to make another attack, we would have had an advantage within our territory. I couldn't mind link the pack yet. Ryker was still so weak that he could barely make a connection, or even speak.My eyes glanced at Sheila. She was a few feet away from me. She hadn't said a word to me. Even when I tried speaking to her, what I received was a silent treatment.I am well aware that I fucked up. I should have journeyed ahead with her. If I had, none of this would have happened.As we moved, we came across a river in the woods. We were still far from the capital, but if we kept walking we would be much closer.We stopped by the river. Sheila went ahead a
Killian's point of viewI got on the horse, behind Sheila. I wrapped my arms stylishly around her, reaching out to the reins in her hands. I smiled at the sparks that formed there. Sheila retracted her hands, folding them against her chest.I sighed, tugging harder on the reins, navigating the horse out of the human village. Soon we were back in the woods. Instead of following the main route that led back to the capital, I decided to go through a different route. The Fire Crest Pack could be scattered around waiting for us, and I desperately hoped Morgan and the guys were safe.We rode for hours, the bright burning of the sun lessened, slowly retiring for the day. I moved faster on the horse. We had to get to shelter before the moon came up and darkness covered the earth.After a few hours of riding, we reached a familiar cottage right outside the capital. The moon was already shining down on us, and it would be dangerous to keep on riding. We would rest here for the night, and hopefu
Sheila's point of viewThe sensual tension in the air prickled between us as Killian's eyes went over my body, again and again. I couldn't hide the satisfaction that was rooted in my smile at his tumult. At least he knows exactly the kind of torture he subjects me to. Adie's presence was within me, encouraging me the more.His gaze hungrily swept through me. He was losing what little control he had over himself. I smiled to myself. Good. I was fucking sick of being the one clinging to Killian when he felt the mate bond as much as I did. It wasn't fair that I was the only one subjected to the pain of the mate bond. I was his pack's Luna as well as his mate, and I was tired of being mistreated. I swear to the goddess that I will be treated with respect, and Killian would beg for my love. By the looks of things, I didn't need to do much.Killian's eyes turned almost black with desire, lust, and need. He was completely still on the bed. It felt as if the sight before him had paralyzed him
Killian's point of viewI groaned, stirring on the bed. My bright amber eyes pulled open, falling on the beautiful figure of my mate, curled up so perfectly in my arms. I sighed in contentment, resting my head next to hers. Last night was the best night of my life. I couldn't possibly begin to describe the ecstasy that drowned me while making love to my mate. It was the best feeling ever. She was the most beautiful woman ever.I leaned closer to her, placing a small kiss on her shoulder. Sheila shifted in her sleep, releasing a small moan. I grabbed the sheets, pulling them over her naked skin.My eyes went around the cottage; the sun had already set. I gathered my discarded clothes from last night on the floor. In haste, I wore them sharply."Ryker?" I called out to my wolf, fastening my leather boots.Ryker simply groaned, lazily. I chuckled deeply. He still hasn't recovered from the blissful pleasure of last night. Sheila took us to a world we never thought existed. My eyes glanced
Sheila's point of viewFinally, we made it back home, to our territory. I could feel the tension ease up around us as everyone sighed in relief.We approached the castle. Many of the pack members and warriors crowded around. Their eyes held relief to have everyone back safely.Kaleb, Jax, Nate, and some warriors rushed closer to us, embracing Killian.Ria rushed to me, embracing me while some warriors and members surrounded me. It really touched me to know they were worried about me. I noticed some of them were truly relieved to have me back, but they kept a safe distance from me, especially the males, probably because of Killian, who glued himself next to me.Suddenly, a high-pitched scream sounded from the castle doors, gaining everyone's attention."Killian!"I turned just in time to see Thea rush out staring at Killian as if she didn't believe he was right there before her eyes. I don't know why, but her expression seemed all fake, as though she had rehearsed it multiple times bef
Sheila's point of view"Run! Sweetheart, run! " A woman's voice rang loudly in my ears, capturing my attention from the fight that broke out around me. I was surrounded by warriors both in their human and wolf forms, as if they were protecting me, they fought against vicious wolves, having the stench of rogues.My eyes fell back on the woman, who was a distance away from me, fighting as well. Her electric blue eyes shifted to me as I remained motionless on the ground. She was beautiful, having curvy brown hair. Her blue eyes lingered on me for the briefest of seconds, her gaze holding fear."Mother!" My lips moved, terrifyingly, as my eyes took notice of the vicious wolves about to lunge at the woman. Her eyes followed my trail, and before the wolves could successfully aim for her, she sent her fingers in the air, whispering a few words. Immediately, I heard the snapping of necks, and the wolves dropped dead on the bloody earth."Run!" The woman's voice sounded again, panic now rising
